CRUX
CYCLOCROSS Even as barriers are torn down, and dirt scrubbed from our weary, spent faces, we smile. As our frozen fingers come back to life, and mud is hosed from the cranks and derailleurs of our race-crushing CruX, we laugh. Through the pain and the mud, the cold and the blood, World Champs and weekend warriors are united in this same thought—I frickin’ love ‘cross!
DISC SPECIFIC E5 ALLOY FRAME
WHAT High grade aluminum frame that’s aggressively shaped for the ‘cross racing experience.
WHY Drastically improves the structure of the frame for greater durability and performance.
HOW Each tube is engineered for pure racing, with the best balance of weight and stiffness to maximize performance.
TAPERED HEADTUBE/STEERER TUBE
WHAT Strategically designed headtube/steerer assembly that tapers from 1-1/8” at the top to 1-3/8” at the crown.
WHY Increases strength and stiffness for greater steering precision.
HOW Integrating the 1-3/8” crown with a raised lower bearing adds surface area and strength, which ultimately creates a stiffer junction.
FACT CARBON FRAME, CANTILEVER OR DISC-SPECIFIC
WHAT FACT construction with one-piece, carbon BB chainstay.
WHY Optimizes weight and stiffness for greater acceleration, efficiency, and handling.
HOW The one-piece BB/chainstay design resists deflection under extreme pedal loads for improved power transfer.
CYCLOCROSS RACE-SPECIFIC FEATURES
WHAT Frame geometry and features engineered for demands of the ‘cross racing experience.
WHY Cyclocross racing demands a purpose-built machine with race-ready geometry and features to accommodate the nastiest of race conditions.
HOW Shorter chainstays give a sharp and connected ride, recessed bottle bosses, Love Handle, and flattened toptube makes shouldering easier, while full internal cable routing improves shifting in muddy conditions.
